Melanie Stryder refuses to fade away. The earth has been invaded by a
species that take over the minds of their human hosts while leaving
their bodies intact, and most of humanity has succumbed.
Wanderer, the invading "soul" who has been given Melanie's body, knew
about the challenges of living inside a human: the overwhelming
emotions, the too vivid memories. But there was one difficulty Wanderer
didn't expect: the former tenant of her body refusing to relinquish
possession of her mind.
Melanie fills Wanderer's thoughts with visions of the man Melanie loves
-- Jared, a human who still lives in hiding. Unable to separate herself
from her body's desires, Wanderer yearns for a man she's never met. As
outside forces make Wanderer and Melanie unwilling allies, they set off
to search for the man they both love.
Featuring what may be the first love triangle involving only two bodies,
The Host is a riveting and unforgettable novel that will bring a vast
new readership to one of the most compelling writers of our time.
